Muesli

-0.7

Unsweetened muesli combines whole grains, nuts, and dried fruit to deliver fiber and antioxidants that reduce inflammation, though added sugar varieties can negate these benefits.

Ingredient score breakdown

Whole Grain Oats

-0.5

Beta-glucan fiber supports gut bacteria and reduces cholesterol-related inflammation.

Nuts

-0.3

Provide anti-inflammatory omega-3s, vitamin E, and polyphenols that protect against oxidative stress.

Dried Fruit

+0.1

Natural sugars can elevate blood glucose, though fiber content helps moderate the response.

Why this score

This score is ingredient-based and weighted by DII-inspired evidence. Foods with added sugar, refined starches, and heavy processing trend higher; foods with fiber, omega-3, and polyphenols trend lower.
